Overview

Vaeplan has built up a solid reputation as producer of high-end VAE (Vinyl Acetate Ethylene) synthetic roofing of which the durability has proven itself in practice. This technology is based on a unique mix of copolymers, the acrylic polymers being chemically bonded to the vinyl structure. This molecular combination of vinyl with acrylic polymers results in a highly flexible and stable rubber copolymer.

Key Features & Applications

Because of its vapour permeability, the risk of condensation problems in comparison with other synthetic membranes is astonishing - 5 to 15% times less. This comes in handy if the use of the building changes. The same advantage also applies in the case of captured humidity in the build-up during installation - it dries out up to 15 times faster.

Vaeplan is entirely recyclable. Any excess start-up material is completely re-introduced in the production of new batches. Vaeplan is especially suitable for the collection and re-use of rainwater.

The specific composition on a Vinyl Acryl Ester base and the copolymerisation techniques guarantee a durable flexibility so no ageing will occur due to plasticizer migration. Independent durability studies on 30 to 40+ year old roofs have proven this.

Membrane & Insulation

Contrary to other synthetic membranes, Vaeplan is not only resistant to oils and greases etc but also to a long list of chemical products. The homogenous composition of the membrane combined with the polyester lining gives it a high resistance to physical impact and other possible damages and costs.

Insulation choice includes PIR and mineral wool to suit specification and U-value parameters.

Installation & Maintenance

Installed by a nationwide network of Alumasc Registered Contractors.

A simple and fast application method which consists of two welding techniques: hot air & cold welding.

Vaeplan V can be applied using a variation of methods such as loose laid, bonded, mechanically fastened.

The highly reliable welds are as strong as the material itself. During the welding, either with hot air or with the cold welding agent, a molecular fusion takes place in the overlap: the best guarantee for a reliable and long-lasting waterproofing of the joints.
